Patagonia NOT cashing in on Palin fashion bandwagon

[Patiod]

Forgive the mixed metaphors, but three cheers to the company which has been identified as one of her favorites.

"Likewise, Patagonia Inc., which Gov. Palin has identified at least partly in jest as one of her favorite designers, has "absolutely no" plans to promote the association, says company spokeswoman Jen Rapp.

"Patagonia's environmental mission greatly differs from Sarah Palin's," Ms. Rapp says. "Just wearing the clothing of an environmental company does not necessarily make someone an environmentalist."

The article explains that even if a 20-something-targeted shoemaker and an eyeglass maker want the publicity, the NY fashion industry as a whole is NOT embracing her.
